Israel Diaries

✕ Menu

From AcademiaAcademic studies from various disciplines tackle issues related to Israel. I will critically and fairly examine published articles that find their way to my screen.
Current Events
Book ReviewsI critically review books that come my way. I am honest and assess a book for its message and how well it is substantiated. I do not have to agree with the author — if the book is well documented and researched, I consider that a valuable contribution to the reading materials available to professionals and laypeople.
Random Reflections
- Reflections on Jewish HolidaysHolidays and symbols involved in their celebration can have meaning for us in the modern world in which we live. I will reflect on what the holidays mean for me.
- Reflections on Random Torah VersesI open the Torah, landing on a randomly selected page. At some point in reading that page, I find something that causes me to stop and reflect. I invite you to engage in conversation with me: telling me what the selected verse means to you, whether you find something meaningful that either coincides with what I wrote or is contrary to it. You don’t have to be Jewish!
